The Frankenstein Chronicles, a terrifying re-imagining of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein starring Sean Bean has returned to begin filming its second season for ITV Encore and Endemol.

The major new six-part drama series, produced by Rainmark Films, sees Bean return as John Marlott - no longer a mere mortal, Marlott’s purpose is to seek revenge on Lord Daniel Hervey for taking his life, and to redeem his soul after being wrongly convicted and hanged for murder.

Set in 1830s London, Marlott must operate outside the law as he comes up against dark forces in high society and in the dangerous slums of the over-crowded capital. In his pursuit of Hervey, Marlott takes on the establishment in the form of Robert Peel’s newly formed Police force and the Church. In the darkest corners of Georgian London, Marlott acts as defender of the poor and destitute as he fights to clear his name and bring Hervey to justice.
